Fire Force Company 8 made massive progress during the first two seasons while uncovering the truth behind spontaneous human combustion. They also brought out the members of the White Clad from the shadows and made allies within the Fire Force Department and Haijima Industries along the way. Captain Akitaru Obi reports all their progress to the Chief of the Fire Defence Agency. However, he didn’t expect the Tokyo Army, whose ranks are filled with the members of the White Clad, to suddenly arrest him. Even the Chief’s orders are not enough to stop the villains. Now that Company 8 is in shambles, a lone hero will lend them a hand.

Fire Force Season 3 Episode 2 Will Bring Back Joker

Joker has always been one of the most popular characters of the show, and it’s finally time to make his appearance. The second season revealed his backstory and his true intentions, shedding light on the brutality of the Holy Sol Temple. Joker has always claimed to be an anti-hero, but when things get rough, he always joins the side of good. The official website of the anime shares preview stills and a synopsis of the upcoming episode, as we see a glimpse of Joker and Licht.

They’ve always been on good terms, but the anime opening already spoiled us that Joker will be fighting alongside Shinra Kusakabe. He will be an important character in the arc, as he should be. Every Pillar has their protector within the White Clad. However, Joker proclaims himself to be Shinra’s protector, as he has always believed in the kid’s potential. Although the two were off to a rocky start, they make a pretty good team.

However, after escaping with Shinra, who possesses the “Adolla Burst,” the 8th is seen as traitors to the Imperial Empire and is pursued.
